I recieved an offer from someone on OfferUp, he wanted to verify my identity through phone, which seems like a scam to me.

Expert Opinion
Patterns show a recurring theme of fraudsters leveraging marketplace platforms to pressure sellers into unsafe verification methods. The caller pushes a phone‑verification step despite the platform’s built‑in protection, a classic red flag for social engineering. Victims should insist on using the official payment and shipping channels, never share personal contact details, and report the incident to the marketplace’s support team. Keeping all communication within the app adds a layer of accountability and makes it easier to dispute unauthorized activity. If the caller persists, block the number and consider filing a complaint with consumer protection agencies.
